Torano Signature and La Flor Dominicana DL.
Well these will not be true "reviews" but rather general impressions and HIGH recommendations of these two sticks.
On Friday I smoked my first La Flor Domincana Double Ligero. It was a fatty . . . approximate size was 6.5 x 55. I have had LFD cigars before and was told that they were pretty strong/full flavored. Full flavored yes but not "better sit down" strong. Everything I read/heard about the Double Ligero was that it was a but kicker and very strong - you had better have a full stomach and be sitting down.
Anyway, I sat down at the local shop and over the course of 1.5 hours I smoked it to the nub and only at the end did I start to "feel it" in my head. But WOW what a great smoke. Great smoke, flavor, draw, aroma . . . blah blah blah. :smiley20: If I had to give it a 1-100 rating I would say a very respectable 92.
Last night while out on the patio reading my latest John Grisham novel I decided to put fire to the Torano Signature I got in a pass on another forum. It was approximately 6 x 50 and had a cedar wrap. I have had Torano SILVER and GOLD Exodus as well as their Domincan Selection Carlos VII and all were very good (Silver being my favorite). However, the Signature was OUTSTANDING in all respects . . . construction, draw, smoke, flavor, aroma etc. This is now my favorite Torano and possibly my new favorite stick. I am tempted to buy a box today! Again . . . if I had to give it a score this would be a 95.
